Jasper Fforde - Early Riser

Upcoming Event

Monday, February 18, 2019 - 7:00pm to 8:00pm

Fforde made his unforgettable debut with The Eyre Affair in 2002, which introduced the literary sleuth Thursday Next, the star of six further books—one of which garnered the Wodehouse Prize for comic fiction. Since then Fforde has kept readers laughing with the Nursery Crime series and two standalone novels. His new book, written with his inimitable allusive cleverness, takes a slightly darker turn. Winters have become so brutal that people can’t do anything but hibernate. Only the Consuls stay vigilant, to keep the sleepers safe from the Villains and Nightwalkers. In his first season, rookie consul Charlie Worthing is tasked with an unprecedented epidemic of bad dreams. They seem like nothing, but then the nightmares turn deadly. When Worthing starts to have them, too, neither he nor the reader can imagine what will come next.

If you can't come to an event and still want an autographed copy of the book, you may purchase titles in advance either in the store, over the phone or through our website.

If you purchase a book and ticket package for one of our co-sponsored events held outside of the store but are unable to attend, we will hold the book at our store for up to six months. If you are unable to pick up the book, please call us to arrange shipping. Although we will make every effort, we cannot guarantee the book will be signed by the author for those customers unable to attend the event.

P&P will try to provide a sign language interpreter for an event, but the request must be made no later than ten days before the event. If we’re unable to secure an interpreter, we will attempt to record the event and prepare a written transcript of it upon request. Please send inquiries to events@politics-prose.com.
